No you mustn't stop looking imagine having it and feed your spyder habit Bal . If you don't like it you can always let it emigrate to the uk (cough) ;) Yeah, here I am again this morning looking at the picture. The problem Bladekeeper is that once I get a blade it's a keeper. I have never sold a kn...

So you're saying that the PM blade is stronger,..... interesting.

Agree, I think that the diamond and ultra fine rods are a necessary addition to the Sharpmaker.
They make a nice complete set. I also recommend the SM to all that have a knife. Unless you
go with the EP / WEP.

Sorry to derail the thread, but I find the blade on the Yo2 to be quite strong.
Anyone agree.

Does anyone know how knifecenter does their pre-orders? Do they charge the full cost upfront and then you wait until the knife is released? Or do they only charge when it ships? I don't personal know, but I cut this from there website Preorder - When will I be charged? - "You will be charged w...

I wish the dragonfly had a compression lock on it. I might get one of every color and steel.
I fumble around with the back lock and try to flick the blade out of lock so I can close it with
one hand. It's a great little knife, but the backlock is not my favorite.

"Plain edge!" "Serrated edge!" Why never any love for the combo edge? :) You know, this is a funny concept and thought, but in my pre-Spyderco days, I used to like a combo blade or the old shrade type knives with 3 blades. Now I find that I like EITHER a PE or SE and commonly ca...

Honestly, I bought it because I thought it was cool and would make a nice addition to my collection (of about 50 Spydies). For the last several months, I've been carrying my Caly 3 Damascus, and it won't leave my pocket! As I have no edged weapons training I can't say that when I carry it, it would...

Yeah I was going to say the Manix as MachSchnell said, it's not that much over. I have a couple Delicas and a couple Endura's that I use for rough work. I used to use the tenacious, but Ifound that I like the steel and overall quality better on the Delica and Endura. Plus they are lighter, which wou...

I use the inside of the bottom of my shirt. And I am actually being serious. But I don't keep safe queens though, so I don't get that picky. I do however like to keep them clean for the next time that I use them. Sharpguitarist might have a good idea, I don't know how the treated gun type rags work ...

Hey rakashaka, love the fluted TI Szabo, but I just thought that I would mention that the pictures
are for a calendar of existing Spyderco knives and probably not ones that are not available.

(Does that mean that PM2 wouldn't be included)
